Requirements

January 03, 2008 08:57AM
I haven't been keeping record of it, but it usually requires 90 in all thrust/pierce/slice/polearm/spear. After that, I think you need 95 in maybe one or two and it shows up.

As for the felar comment since they're not allowed this edge, I believe that they are not the weakest anti-paladin but I do believe they are the hardest to get there. Their spells suck, their strength sucks, getting felar-only gear is *not* easy, and they lose out on a lot of great tactics because of their loss of dual-wielding. Great example is faceslash - no one in their right mind would use a dagger mainhand as an unholy because they get parried/dodged like crazy, and yet you can't midfight switch from dual wielding a mace/dagger to use either crippling/face. And sometimes the only way to deal with heavy defensive characters is to land sleep or lowering dexterity - good luck landing either with a felar. Your main weapon (spear) which gives you a bonus is a huge disadvantage because you can't vault people you don't really sleep, which you won't land much with that crappy intelligence.

But assuming you land all the felar-only gear, you get 30-50 charges, you'd be pretty mean because those extra claw attacks would hurt. I just would hate to get there....

...and yes I've done a felar anti-paladin and man did it suck.

Also, just as an aside...."weakest" anti-paladin doesn't really make sense in a general context. Some would say drow APs are weak but obviously after enough charges, lashes is king. I'd definitely put felar anti-paladins into the "weakest" to getting charges, but they're a lot higher than other races once they get up there.

What about charge? Have you practiced it? nt

dervish January 03, 2008 10:54AM

Charge has nothing to do with Spine~

torak January 03, 2008 11:38AM

One i know is to not be a felar. nt

crafteddeception January 03, 2008 06:19AM

Which seems really silly, all things considered. nt

Game balance

daurwyn(VIP) January 03, 2008 07:35AM

If they aren't who are then? It sure as hell aren't drow anymore. ~

IMHO Felars have the lowest strength, and are easily disarmed so.

Yhorian(VIP) January 03, 2008 07:41AM

Irongrip can not prevent it? nt

dervish January 03, 2008 08:03AM

Only no-disarm can prevent strength loss dropping a weapon. nt

Yhorian(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:05AM

It's not that hard to cover against strength loss and pick a light weapon

daurwyn(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:10AM

You parry worse with light weapon and probably hit less nt

dervish January 03, 2008 10:21AM

You're wasting your time worrying about weight. Worry about weapon type (axe/mace/flail/etc).

Only partially. Still heave wepon better for offense. At least so its written in FAQ nt

Yet to see doesn't mean they are the weakest

daurwyn(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:01AM

So what's a weaker AP race then?~

Enbuergo January 03, 2008 09:16AM

Talking tactics with a felar AP, I'd still a non-spear weapon for better offense and defense.

daurwyn(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:09AM

I second the notion

Mort January 03, 2008 07:54AM

Basically they can make the best use of spear

daurwyn(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:02AM

I suppose...

Mort January 03, 2008 08:19AM

Wherein I shoot myself in the foot and blow my leg off by mistake

ExPaladin(VIP) January 03, 2008 08:24AM

I haven't fought any particularly competent ones, no

Mort January 03, 2008 08:38AM

Except being furry. They have the monopoly on the fluffy, cuddly Ap niche. nt
